RV, Truck and Fleet Repair in Brea, CA

What we repair

The short version: anything that changed the shape, the finish, the weather seal, or the working systems of a large vehicle. Collision damage, structural damage, water intrusion, roof failures, mechanism faults, electrical and plumbing problems, interior rebuilds, and custom fabrication when the part no longer exists.

Twenty eight distinct capabilities sit under six clusters, and each has its own page written by the trade that performs it. Below is one line each on the ones people ask about most.

One sentence each, with the full explanation a click away:

• Collision repair: impact damage on coaches, trailers, vans, and trucks, from a creased panel to a rebuilt corner.
• Frame and structural repair: measured pulling on an anchored frame rack when chassis or trailer geometry has moved.
• Water damage and subfloor: finding the intrusion path, then rebuilding the floor structure and everything sitting on it.
• Roof repair: membrane replacement, structural roof work, and resealing every penetration rather than the leaking one.
• Delamination and fiberglass: bonded sidewall separation, gelcoat repair, and laminate reconstruction under controlled cure.
• Paint and refinishing: full coach refinishing in a downdraft booth, matched against the weathered finish rather than the build sheet.
• Slide outs and mechanisms: rails, seals, motors, and the alignment that decides whether a slide seals or leaks.
• Electrical and power systems: twelve volt distribution, shore power, inverters, solar, batteries, and generators.
• Interior and fabrication: cabinetry, flooring, upholstery, and custom metal and composite parts that are no longer available.

The platforms that come through the gate

Vehicle type changes almost everything about a repair: how the structure is built, what a manufacturer still supplies, how an insurer treats it, and how long it takes. We group work into seven platform families, each with its own hub.

Motorhomes and towables are the largest share. Commercial and municipal fleet work is the fastest growing, because the equipment that handles a forty foot coach handles a box truck or a service body without modification.

Pick the group your vehicle belongs to:

• RVs and motorhomes: Class A, B, and C, diesel pushers and gas coaches.
• Campers and trailers: fifth wheels, travel trailers, toy haulers, truck campers, and teardrops.
• Vans and camper vans: factory conversions, custom builds, and cargo van platforms.
• Commercial trucks: box trucks, step vans, service bodies, and flatbeds. Body and structure only, not drivetrain.
• Municipal and government fleet: agency vehicles under purchase order and vendor compliance requirements.
• Specialty and electric: unusual platforms and electrified units with high voltage handling considerations.
• Mobile business: food trucks, mobile clinics, and any unit where the vehicle is the storefront and downtime is lost revenue.

Insurance work is the specialty, not a sideline

We bill sixteen major carriers direct: Progressive, GEICO, State Farm, AAA SoCal, AAA Enterprises, Mercury, Allstate, American Family, Wawanesa, National General, CSAA, Foremost, Liberty Mutual, Tesla, Cincinnati, and AGWS. Direct billing means the scope, the supplements, the photographic documentation, and the final invoice move between our office and the carrier without you acting as a courier.

Recreational vehicles are handled differently from passenger cars by every carrier, and the differences are not published anywhere. They are learned by submitting claims. Our estimators do that daily, which is why our scopes arrive in the format each carrier's desk expects and why supplements after teardown tend to clear rather than bounce.

One thing worth knowing before you call anyone: in California you choose the repair facility. A carrier may recommend a shop from their network, and there can be administrative conveniences to that, but a recommendation is not a requirement.

Why our assessments are paid

We charge for the assessment that produces your written scope, and that is a deliberate difference from shops that will glance at a vehicle for nothing.

The fee buys lift time, teardown where teardown is needed to see the actual condition, moisture testing where relevant, and photographic documentation. What comes back is a line item scope with part numbers and labor operations that holds up when the work starts.

An unverified number does not hold up. It gets revised the first time somebody opens a wall, and each revision costs you calendar time and, on a claim, another approval cycle with an adjuster. Paying for discovery once, at the front, is how the figure you authorize stays close to the figure you pay. The assessment fee is credited against the repair when you authorize the work.

The building

Thirty five thousand square feet under one roof, organized as a production line: intake and assessment, teardown and structural, the downdraft booth, reassembly, then quality check before delivery.

The equipment that matters is the equipment that cannot travel. An anchored frame rack for structural pulling. A booth long enough to refinish a full coach without masking it into sections. An enclosed welding cell for steel and aluminum. A fabrication area for parts that are no longer manufactured. Bay clearance sized for full height coaches and high cube commercial bodies. Manifested hazardous waste handling under EPA identification CAL000367879.

That equipment is also why there is no mobile service, no roadside service, and no fleet route service here. Structural pulling needs a floor anchor and refinishing needs filtered air. Neither of those fits in a van, and a shop offering both versions is doing one of them badly.

How to start

Call the shop and describe what you are seeing rather than what you think it is. When it started, what changed right before, and what the vehicle is. Two minutes on the phone tells us whether this is a job for this building, and if it is not, we will say so instead of taking the vehicle.

If it is, we book an intake appointment. You bring the vehicle to the Yorba Linda facility, we document it on arrival, and the paid assessment starts. From there the job runs through six defined stages, with contact from us at five specific points and quiet in between while approved work proceeds.

Hours are Monday through Friday from eight to five, Saturday from eight to noon, and closed Sunday. Saturday morning is the busiest window, so if you need an estimator's attention rather than just a vehicle handoff, book a weekday.
